Arcadis City Challenge 2018

Arcadis is proud to be participating in a series of events around the country that capture the imagination of communities, boost local economies and improve quality of life for all. For the second year running Arcadis will join forces with the Great Run Company to host the Arcadis Great CityGames, Manchester and will then take to the streets by running, cheering or volunteering in a number of regional runs that all help to make Britain’s cities healthier, happier and more prosperous. Have a look back at the highlights of our 2017 activity for a taste of what’s to come.

The Arcadis City Challenge, taking place in the UK's key cities of Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Bristol, will bring our staff and clients together to compete in a series of events while showcasing some of the outstanding regeneration work that Arcadis has done in and around each location. In addition to this our renewed headline sponsorship with Arcadis Great CityGames, Manchester will mean our people are helping to shape the iconic event for the benefit of the community, showcasing some of the world's finest athletes as they compete to win gold in the heart of the city. Our programme of events will offer people of all abilities the chance to compete against the world’s best athletes and raise millions for charity.

Arcadis Great CityGames

Manchester is one of the nation's biggest and most important cities and Arcadis has been improving quality of life there for some time. From helping the University of Manchester develop its world class graphene institute to creating a new vision for the Northern Powerhouse, Arcadis has firm roots in the Capital of the North.

The Arcadis Great CityGames Manchester will bring international elite athletics to the streets of Manchester in front of thousands of local spectators attending to cheer on the athletes as they competed on a purpose-built sprint track and arena in the city centre. We invite our clients and peers to join us in celebrating on the day – with a fantastic view of the track!

Arcadis City Challenge, Edinburgh

Arcadis has a long association with Edinburgh, helping the city's people and businesses to flourish. Over the years, our people have worked to improve water quality, housing and connectivity across the Scottish capital and beyond.

This year we will be hoping for sunshine as the runners take off on a 10K route starting in Edinburgh’s scenic Holyrood Park. Arcadis’ guests and their families are welcome to come down and join in the festivities on the day as part of Edinburgh Marathon Festival.

Arcadis City Challenge, London

Our people have been helping to improve mobility in London since Tower Bridge was first constructed and, today, we are proud to say we are still working hard to improve quality of life for the city and its people. From remodelling of the world-famous Kings Cross station to the creation of Thames Tideway Tunnel, which will provide clean water to millions, we are at the heart of the capital.

Taking place in one of the most ambitious regeneration projects in London we are encouraging our clients and colleagues to Chase the Sun with us after work on a 10K tour of the impressive Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Arcadis City Challenge, Bristol

Bristol is a thriving place to be and we are proud to be working with local authority groups and businesses to make the city a healthier, happier place to live and do business.

Arcadis City Challenge, Birmingham

England's 'Second City' has been transformed in recent years. At Arcadis, we are proud to be at the heart of Birmingham's ongoing regeneration. Our work has helped the likes of Birmingham Children's Hospital ensure better healthcare and assisted some of the region’s biggest employers strengthen their operations.

Supporting Mind

Arcadis is proud to support our charity partner Mind this year with teams set to take part in a series of challenging running events across the country, to raise funds and awareness. Committed to reducing the stigma and discrimination around mental health throughout our organisation and beyond, Arcadis understands the importance of supporting the vital work being done by the charity to ensure that no-one has to face a mental health problem alone.

The Arcadis City Challenge provides people with the chance to run for body and mind, support communities across the UK, and improve quality of life for all.
